Right From the Start: Managing Your College Career

This college orientation text emphasizes self-management and strategic planning by reinforcing the principles of a long-acclaimed corporate tool called Continuous Quality Improvement (teamwork, creative thinking and problem-solving in small groups, making decisions on the basis of data, and the fervent desire to continuously improve ones products and services). Through a variety of lively hands-on activities and exercises, students are encouraged to think about their habits and how they relate to the topics of each chapter. They are then directed to take what theyve learned and come up with an action plan to effect positive change in their lives.
